we use these for our employees
Those looks about perfect, thx! Do you use these on a cart and wheel up to a head? I couldn't quite tell which way the fan blows out. I like that you can divert or duct out the heat too.
We have big arse pedestal fans and a gaggle of box fans on carts for regular cooling. Heck, we even have a kool mist that I need to get off my own arse and hookup and set procedures for.
These I want for the odd revolve on the 6 color machine with fleece and big plasti prints. On our hottest days with a couple presses running with flashes the whole shop temp can be enough to frustrate after flash cooling to the point where more than a fan is needed. Blowing around 95˚ air just isn't enough in those cases if you are moving faster on the press. The jobbies Eric posted should be a band aid for those times and I think running select jobs on the larger press with more cool down heads would also help.
When not needed on the press to cool I'd like to have a couple just to keep the crew cool enough to think straight too.
Even though this summer was mild they are a nice little thanks to our employees for braving the heat. It's really nice to have a spot of refreshing air hit you, when all you have around you is fans blowing hot air around.
We don't use them on press at all, but each employee has one, and they wheel it over to their station, wherever they are working.
The only bad thing about these, is the cord is like 4ft long. We had to build extension cords for every one.
